Despite Elon being insane, the idea of brain-computer interfaces could be really great. I’m thinking of people with disabilities or debilitating injuries. This could enable prosthetics with full dexterity that you can control. It could be life changing for some people.

I don’t know if that is the first thing Elon is aiming for, but any breakthroughs in the technology that could lead to it becoming a legitimate option to improve people’s lives, I think would be a good thing.

Yesssss. Youtube shorts are fine except that it won’t let you navigate them like a normal video. I don’t understand why they don’t wanna have consistant layout between shorts and videos. It’s like a separate site

I do. Lemmy is great for general purpose stuff, so far the best alternative I’ve found as far as the crossroads between layout and community involvement. However I follow a lot of fandoms and more specific communities, and those just aren’t there yet. I’m trying to start contributing here to encourage it, but the communities for those are still for the most part on reddit.

I respect that there’s a government out there that actually does things good for the individuals. US government would probably allow laws to make it illegal to replace your own batteries even if you knew how to. Or to outlaw making batteries that are compatible with a company’s devices.
